Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan
I applied for a loan online and was contacted by a man name Steve from Advance Cash. He said i was approved for a loan up to $8000 when i only requested $1000 but he said i had to at least get $2000. I agreed to the $2000 and my payments would be $150 month for 20 months. He wanted $150 upfront or he could use my banking info. Like a fool i gave him my bank acct # and password to send funds. They did put funds into my acct of $240 for 5 to 6 days in which i had to send back with ebay gift cards to up my credit score. All the deposits were returned which made my acct negative of over $1000. Then they had to restart because of identity verification and after my bank stopped the fake checks from being deposited he said he could do western union but i had to pay $400 portal fee. I still have not received a loan

I received the phone call stating that they had arrest warrants and and something about charges of fraud so I called this number back which is 844-289-6141 and they gave me a number to a law firm call Hamilton mediation call Hamilton mediation at 850-601-2542 and they gave me a number to Advance Cash and which I called them to get information about this fraud that was I was supposed to have taken out a loan when I talk to the girl that was there I got information about $550 check loan that was taken out about April 25th of 2013 drawn from Sallie Mae Bank at one time I did actually have that bank account it is now closed. So when I ask the person at Advance Cash at what store location did I take the loan out in she told me Cecil County I asked the person what are the store locations in Cecil County that I may have taken out the payday loan she put me on hold for 15 minutes and never came back I called back again she put me on hold to say that she was trying to put me through a supervisor another 10 minute hold and never came back the third time that I called someone else answer the phone and try said they was going to put me to a supervisor another 10 minute hold and never came back by the 4th time that I called I asked the person on the phone who was I speaking with she told me and gave me the name of Sarah Johnson I asked them where they were located she said Rochester New York I also asked what her corporate address was and she hung up on me this is now where I’m thinking this is a identity theft and a fraud case I had to actually do a second line phone number on my phone three times in order to get in contact with Advance Cash because it seems that every time I call my number gets blocked or gets an answer I also tried to call back Hamilton mediation and I had to do the same thing I had to change my number and order to get in contact to speak with someone the original number that called me same thing no answer either it will not connect through or gives me a busy signal or it’s blocked my number is blocked so I would like some type of resolution to finding out what is actually going on.

I received emails and phone calls from a DANNY WATSON and the number was 1-587-487-5880 ext 124
He claimed I applied for a loan and was approved. I told him I was not interested. He continued to call non-stop and leaving voice messages. I had blocked the number, and then he called again from 416-258-9635
Today he called me at work (how did he get this number???) So I called him back (and had sent an email yesterday saying I was not interested) and advised him again I did not want this
He started yelling at me, and told me my account would be debited for cancellation fee’s after all the work he did!
then he hung up on me
